Lightning Talk – Package manager integration with Bazel
summary
Demonstrates integrating existing package managers into Bazel by wrapping cabal and stack rather than reimplementing dependency resolution, producing cabal_rules build targets and a stack_snapshot repository rule that generates Bazel targets. Uses rules_haskell and rules_sh to support Haskell packages and shell toolchains. Tested on roughly 100 external dependencies, works with Bazel caching and parallelism but gives coarser package-level graph and can invalidate many externals on updates.
